WHAT ABOUT THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE?

Introduction: They are described by the Biblical word, Without. They are outside of the fold; the Church; salvation and the blessings of god. They are out, but they don't have to stay out.

They try to get to heaven but don't want to serve God:

Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up; and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are.

They are under the judgment of god and can only escape through repentance:

First Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without god judgeth.

They are without Christ and god in the world, but He wants to save them:

Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without god in the world.

They need a good witness from the Church so that they can be saved before it's too late:

Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
First thessalonians 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
First Timothy 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Conclusion: They are outside of the beautiful city of god, which is the worst fate of all. And the sad fact is, that nobody has to miss heaven who doesn't want to.

Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Ephesians 2:13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
